So I’m doing my first build thread of an old Associated truck and I want to replace all the shocks so it can handle some jumps and bashing. I‘ve heard of and seen pro-line power stroke shocks and was wondering which ones would be able to fit a standard sc or stadium truck. I’m also open to other shock options that could be cheaper.
 
Most shocks come in a variety of lengths so get something that matches the originals. FWIW I like Traxxas GTR shocks for the Slash, they are cheaper than the Prolines (including the springs which are sold separately). Or you could go with any higher-end shock from a respectable brand (Tekno, Losi etc). But that will cost more. And you may have to get creative with mounting them.
 
Stock AE shocks were never something I complained about. Are yours no good, or missing?

If you need to replace them, and can't find originals, I would go with shocks off of one of the newer AE kits, just to stay with the brand. That's a pretty cool kit you are rebuilding, so I personally wouldn't do much kit bashing or aftermarket stuff on it.
